Republican Anthony Constantino won the election Friday to the U.S. House of Representatives representing New York\u2019s 21st Congressional District, defeating Democrat Blake Gendebien. <\/p>\n

The Associated Press declared Constantino the winner at 11:23 a.m. EST.<\/p>\n

Constantino took over his father\u2019s printing business and later founded his own, Sticker Mule. He prominently advertises his support for President Donald Trump on one of the company\u2019s buildings. <\/p>\n

Constantino says he was recruited to run by Trump ally Roger Stone and touts a stint as a professional boxer. He\u2019ll replace Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik. <\/p>\n

Constantino had already declared victory on Wednesday on X. \u201cI am one of the few people to overcome the Blue Wave which was caused by Evil News who tried to put us on defense and many Republicans took the bait. I stayed strong and defended our values because I saw through their scam and so did my voters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

STATEMENT ON MID TERM ELECTIONS BY CONGRESSMAN-ELECT CONSTANTINO<\/p>\n

I am one of the few people to overcome the Blue Wave which was caused by Evil News who tried to put us on defense and many Republicans took the bait. I stayed strong and defended our values because I saw through their scam and so did my voters. Not long ago, the same Evil News totally loved George Bush’s Iraq War. It was a much worse war started on false pretenses and the Evil News loved selling it. Now they attack the Iran War because President Trump acted to defend America after securing numerous peace accords which they discount. The Iran War doesn’t even really seem like much of a war to me. It seems like more of a conflict but the Evil News piled on. I’m sure they’d love if Iran used a nuke to kill millions because they are miserable people that enjoy making other humans suffer. If you doubt me, consider that the Evil News also LOVED the War between Ukraine and Russia that happened because of Democrats. A few million died and they thought that was just great and cheered for more DEATH. I even had an Evil News member tell me those people wanted to be dead in an interview. I might use dirty words but the Evil News does dirty deeds. They are Evil Fucks who champion mass death. I am with all people who want a better, happier future!<\/p>\n

In an emailed statement Friday, Gendebien said he was proud of the competitive campaign he mounted. \u201cThere are still votes left to count, but the math is clear, and I respect the choice voters made. Two years ago, plenty of people said a Democrat couldn\u2019t compete here. Together, we moved every county in this district by double digits. To the more than 85,000 people who chipped in, and to the union members, nurses, teachers, and farmers who gave up their evenings and weekends to knock doors, thank you. What we built doesn\u2019t disappear with this result. It\u2019s the foundation for whatever comes next. As I said on Election Night, I hope Anthony Constantino will put the North Country first in Congress. It has been the honor of my life to be your candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n
